Structure Hardening. The Army Security Engineering Manual provides
technical data regarding structure hardening for plain and reinforced CMU,
and for reinforced concrete structures. Data is available for explosive
charges from 50 to 1,000 pounds (22.5 to 900 kg). Figure 78 shows some
example results for reinforced concrete walls of thickness from 4 to 30
inches (100 to 762 mm). Three levels of reinforcement are considered: light,
moderate, and heavy. Levels of protection are shown versus required standoff
distance.
